By arjones

IAN HARVEY has been ruled out of Lashings' squad for tomorrow's match against North Devon at Instow by suspected swine flu.

The Australian all-rounder has been replaced by Stuart Law.

Batsman Law, 40, played one Test and 54 one-day internationals for Australia but is now a British citizen.

A prolific scorer in county cricket with Essex, Lancashire and now Derbyshire, Law averages 50.52 with the bat in first-class cricket and 34.43 in one-dayers.

He joins international legends including Gordon Greenidge and Wasim Akram in a 13-man Lashings squad.

The 35-overs-a-side match starts at 11am. Tickets are available on the gate priced £10.

Lashings squad: Chris Harris (New Zealand, age 39, Tests 23, ODIs 250); Gordon Greenidge (West Indies, 58, 108, 128); Phil DeFreitas (England, 43, 44, 103); Stuart Law (Australia, 40, 1, 54); Henry Olonga (Zimbabwe, 33, 30, 50); Greg Blewett (Australia, 37, 46, 32); Wasim Jaffer (India, 31, 31, 2); Ed Giddins (England, 38, 4, 0); Mohammed Kaif (India, 28, 13, 125); Devon Malcolm (England, 46, 40, 10); Wasim Akram (Pakistan, 43, 104, 356); John Emburey (England, 56, 64, 61); Saqlain Mushtaq (Pakistan, 32, 49, 169).
